Advancements and Future Outlook of PET/CT-Guided Interventions

Advancements in minimally invasive technology, coupled with imaging breakthroughs, have empowered the field of interventional radiology to achieve unparalleled precision in image-guided diagnosis and treatment while simultaneously reducing periprocedural morbidity. Molecular imaging, which provides valuable physiological and metabolic information alongside anatomical localization, can expand the capabilities of image-guided interventions. Among various molecular imaging techniques, positron emission tomography (PET) stands out for its superior spatial resolution and ability to acquire quantitative data.
